Couples Therapy (60 Minutes)

In couple's therapy, your relationship is the focus of treatment. There are no "bad guys" in the room, only patterns of interacting with one another that no longer work. We will explore what works within your relationship, and where support in communication, connection, or compassion for one another are needed. As a team, we work to map out the cycle of a couple's misinterpretations of one another, the ways in which partners protect themselves within a relationship, and begin having more vulnerable conversations to create connection, communication, and intimacy.

I believe strongly in utilizing an emotionally-focused therapeutic approach, which can be different than other styles of couple's therapy. In EFT, couples are given the opportunity to have the difficult conversations about emotions that are often unspoken in their relationship, sometimes emotions that partners don't know they are experiencing until it is further examined and processed. These vulnerable conversations create a corrective experience in how to relate to your partner, both in the therapy room and at home.

Couples Therapy Intensive Sessions:

When weekly sessions don't feel like they fit your needs, whether it's schedule constraints or the intensity of the negative cycle you're in, I offer alternative approaches to the standard couple's therapy approach. A couple's therapy intensive session can allow partners to deepen their understanding and stay focused on the relationship in the moment by extending session time to whatever's needed within the relationship. Most common are 90-120 minute sessions, used in conjunction with regular sessions on a weekly or biweekly basis.

For couples who do not want to commit to regular sessions, but still want to experience transformational healing in their relationship on a quicker timeline, longer intensive sessions are available by request. I offer one day intensives and weekend intensives that work within the couple's schedule and needs to address issues presented in the couple dynamic. These intensives are designed to create deeper understanding of your relationship, a more tangible view of the cycle between you and your partner, and how to move forward out of the rut of your negative dynamic into a stronger, healthier partnership.

Individual Therapy (30 - 60 minutes)

My goal for individual therapy is always first and foremost to ensure that you feel comfortable, authentic, and that you are in an environment that feels supportive and judgement free. Therapy can be vulnerable and intimating at times, especially when you first begin. I use a mixture of humor, psychoeducation, and reflection based insight to partner with you in treatment. Together, we set goals that make sense for your life and what you want to change, learn, or discover about yourself.

I utilize a trauma-informed approach to treatment generally, and have experience treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and PTSD. I am happy to collaborate with other providers to ensure the best quality of care for your treatment. I do not see minors under the age of 18, except in family therapy sessions with the parent as the primary client.

Many of my clients are therapists themselves who are looking for someone who understands the specific stressors of the field. While working with me, therapists can experience the power of "turning off" their psychoanalytical parts and being seen as a person with their own needs, wants, and life.

New mothers and parents who are looking for support are welcome to bring their young infants into any session. Postpartum support is something close to my heart, and I'm always willing to provide flexible options for parents who need therapy following pregnancy and birth.

Walk and Talk Therapy (60 minutes)

My Colchester office is conveniently located .5 miles from the Colchester Spur Airline Trail and 3 minutes walk from the Town Green. Walk and Talk therapy provides a different modality to processing emotions by literally moving through them and moving forward. Research is clear that exercise can provide similar positive impacts as antidepressant medication, when done on a regular basis.

Whether you're interested in making your weekly session outside or supplementing in-office sessions with a walk, walk and talk therapy can be incredibly beneficial for anyone.

Being outside does come with the implied understanding that client confidentiality cannot be promised. We will discuss beforehand what the expectations are for maintaining confidentiality and individual comfort with session topics while being in public spaces.

Rates and Policies:

As of 2026, I am no longer in network with insurance providers other than Medicaid (Husky CT). The decision to no longer accept insurance provides clients with a more flexible approach to treatment, especially in the context of couples therapy. Insurance requires an identified patient, a clinical mental health diagnosis, and limits the length and number of sessions. Insurance does not cover the true couple's therapy, where the relationship is the focus of treatment.

I remain in network with Medicaid to provide therapeutic services to those who have limited access to quality care, due to financial need or life circumstances. I have a sliding scale available for clients who do not have Medicaid but are facing financial difficulties.

Rates:

$175 for initial psychiatric evaluation and intake
$150 for 60 minutes couple's session
- $225 for 90 minute couple's session
- $300 for 120 minute couple's session
$130 for 60 minute individual session

Superbills and Insurance Reimbursement:

If you have out-of-network benefits through your insurance, I can provide a superbill to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. This can be done on your own through your insurance portal, or through a third-party such as Mentaya that submits for reimbursement on your behalf.

Policies:

Sessions cancelled within 24 hours of scheduled time are subject to a $50 late cancellation fee.
If we can reschedule within the same week, this fee is waived. This is limited to my availability within work hours.
All prospective clients will be offered a 15 minute consultation to ensure therapeutic fit and scheduling accommodations are met.
Clients may send text messages to discuss scheduling needs, however I do not offer therapy support via text and do not answer messages after work hours. Texting implies the understanding that in the case of a true emergency, clients will call 911 or other emergency services.
All correspondence is done within a group chat or email when in couples therapy to ensure all parties are informed.

Diversity Note: All races, genders, religions, and sexualities are welcome in my practice. I have experience treating those who practice ethical non-monogamy or are in polyamorous relationships. I do not judge or discriminate in my practice, however I do not know everything (about anything!). I practice with curiosity for what I am unfamiliar with, and will label when a culture or experience is outside of my knowledge or skill-set.
